where to buy colored telephone cable?

[ZippyDan]

Finding colored ethernet cable is easy. Monoprice is wonderful and they have like 12 colors to choose from for CAT5, 5e, 6, 7, etc.

Is there any source like this for finding TELEPHONE cable in different colors and at somewhat custom lengths? I'm talking about 2- or 3-pair cable with RJ11 connectors.

I know that at least green, blue, and red telephone cable is manufactured somewhere, because I've received them in the past in boxes with modems / routers / etc. But finding them FOR SALE (other than used on eBay probably from the same boxes) seems difficult.

I tried googling "colored telephone cable" but almost all the results are for internal wiring of the cable pairs.

I know that I can just buy CAT5+ colored cable and make my own telephone cables, but I have a standard about only using factory-made patch cables, and besides CAT5+ is too "thick" for my needs (I will only be using a single pair for each cable).

Specifically, I'm looking for telephone "patch" cables in the colors orange, blue, green, and brown (same as the internal pairs) in 1ft and 2ft lengths.

Anyone know where I might be able to find this?

If you cant find what you like on Monoprice my only suggestion is generic places like Amazon or ebay. Best of luck.
Phone cord is not exactly high demand these days.

Monoprice only sells grey phone cord.
eBay only has the green, blue, and red cables that come with routers or modems. No orange or brown that I need; plus the lengths are way more than what I need.
Can't find anything on Amazon either.

While I understand the appeal of pre-made, your specifications are so odd that I think your only option will be to make your own...and/or paint it when you're done.

Maybe just use coloured tags? Like a Brother labeler? You get to name everywire that way and not just colour code.

When i put struictured wiring into my home I made all of the voice ports CAT5e as the CAT3 worked in them. This was like 16 years ago. This way while using plug & play patch panels in the basement I can use that 'voice' port as a second data port if needed.

Good idea

I'm not doing room-to-room wiring. I need short 1ft patch cords to make my little datacenter nice and organized and color coded.
